The Ward Estate!
After Henry and Rowan returned, their faces still showed shock and relief.
Thank goodness they didn't really offend Lachlan!
Erik, Caelan, and Reeva were all in a room drinking tea waiting for news.
Everyone wanted to know the outcome of tonight's events.
"Reeva, you won!"
Henry sighed as he spoke after returning home.
"I won?"
Reeva raised an eyebrow before laughing. "Of course! I told you so."
With curiosity and anticipation written on her face, she asked, "Did Lachlan really take out all of the Lowe family's experts by himself? The battle must have been intense and shocking?"
Erik and Caelan also looked at Henry with curiosity. They too wanted to know what happened.
But Henry just smiled bitterly while shaking his head. "It was definitely shocking but not intense at all."
He then held up one finger saying, "Lachlan only used one kick to injure all of the Lowe family's experts. He didn't kill them but his ability to control the situation is what makes him truly terrifying!"
If Lachlan had killed everyone from the Lowe family tonight, it might not have been as shocking because it would show that he couldn't control himself unless he went all out. But that wasn't what happened; instead he injured them without killing them off completely.
"What? One kick? How is that possible?" Even Reeva who had complete faith in Lachlan was surprised by this revelation.
Caelan, Erik, and Gabriela were even more shocked than her.
For a moment there was silence in the living room as everyone tried to process what they had just heard.
Half an hour later...
A man with braided hair whose limbs were covered in plaster was carried into the room.
Erik and Henry looked at him coldly.
"Braid," said Henry sternly while staring down his subordinate. "Tell me again how exactly did Lachlan disable you from head-to-toe? Don't leave out any details."
The look in his eyes was sharper than ever before making Braid feel uneasy when meeting their gaze.
"I... I..."
Braid Man felt a sudden fear in his heart and stuttered, "I... I was asked to take the money and..."
After listening to him, Henry's face turned pale with anger as he gritted his teeth. Erik snorted coldly, his eyes filled with a hint of danger.
Henry grabbed Braid Man's hair from behind and asked word by word, "You mean someone paid you to sell Mr. Willis' daughter in the mountains?"
"I... I just wanted to scare him..." Braid Man felt the terrifying expressions on Henry and Erik's faces and spoke fearfully.
"Why didn't Mr. Willis just kill you?" Henry bit his teeth while slapping Braid Man across the face.
